Court rules for MP Shkumbin Demalij

Pristina's Constitutional Court has placed 30 days in custody for AAK deputy Shkumbin Demalij.

MP Shkumbin Demalij appeared before the Pristina Foundation Court today, where hearings were held for the appointment of security measures.

Demalijaj was arrested yesterday over allegations that former prosecutor Elez Blakaj has suffered.

As reported KALLXO.com this session is held following prosecutor Rexhep Macedonia's request for the detention assignment of the arrested MP Shkumbin Demalijaj.

Prosecutor Rexhep Macedonia arguing his request for Demalijat's detention before the court, said Demalijaj has publicly covered former prosecutor Elez Blakaj on television.

“Foundation Procurory in Pristina Conform The KPP applied for the detention assignment for Shumbin Demalijaj, because by September 17th of this year the defendant in RTK during a show publicly sealed by former Special Prosecutor Elez Blaj in the words” I will follow privately with my family if the state of Kosovo does nothing to”, also the same with the 25th of this year's September to T7 it has declared <x3jo I never regret it if the state does not deal with the Blake, then I will personally deal with this criminal work, and it has been done to the prosecutor before Macedonia's procedure.

Following information provided by the police, the defendant's statement, other evidence as well as the videos, the suspect during a TV show in T7 this prosecutor has found that the defendant has committed the criminal work of rowing and in order to secure him in the procedure, we request that the defendants be appointed custody”, the prosecutor said.

He added that there is doubt based that the defendant has committed the criminal act proven by the records.

“There are specific circumstances showing that if the defendant is left in freedom he will influence witnesses, persons who have not yet been heard, because the same is Kosovo's deputy, there is the possibility that the same would affect, and he has not yet been interviewed by the prosecution”, said prosecutor Macedonia.

Prosecutor Meqaedonci said the defendant has been injured in connection with a subject, which he was injured under his special prosecutorship, has filed the indictment.

The defendant's two-time run-out, there's a risk that if the defendant is in freedom, he can repeat the criminal act. Weight of criminal acts as well as of the defendants' behaviour and characteristics has assessed that the only measure of security for the defendants in the procedure is detention”, prosecutor Rexhep Macedonia said during his request for the detention assignment for the arrested MP Shumbin Demalijaj.

On the other hand, Shkumbin Demalijat lawyer Arian Koci, rejecting the prosecutor's request for the detention measure, said the request is not precise and that they are opposed to the detention assignment.

The prosecutor did not specify when he supposedly carried out the Demalijaj work. So it's not the appointed hour, it's not RTK, it's the 1709,2018, and in the second case, T7's 25,09,2018, but not the clock. However, this can be clarified if the prosecution has delivered any evidence, and if there is no evidence that we can analyze, then the request should immediately be rejected”, Koci said.

According to him, in criminal acts allegedly committed via the media, it could very easily be misunderstood or misinterpreted by a word or even derived from the context.

Therefore, for the Court and for us it is very necessary to have some evidence so that I can start analyzing in this trial. However, the defence predicts that the prosecution has failed to prove with material evidence the causes for the appointment of detention regarding the first element as a based suspicion must be met in a communicative manner, the cana must be serious, it should be possible and should be current”, Demalijat's lawyer said.

The “in concrete case is located in America and there is no real possibility of causing it any harm. The canos is considered present or present whether evil can be accomplished immediately. It's not a fact that Mr. Blakaj is in America and for more than ever, Mr. Blackay. Blakaj has not complained that MP Demalijaj has threatened him. But even Mr. Blake didn't complain and Mr. Blackay's father did. Blakaj in Tv has stated that he does not feel threatened by”, MP Demalijaj said.

Koci said that whatever he has stated even what the prosecution says does not even meet the threshold for the conduct of the canal criminal acts or half of Kosovo's statements should be arrested.

“Z . Demalijaj claims he never argued with Mr. Blakaj, but has argued and debated with the former Blakaj prosecutor at the time he resigned, and the MP has considered it not ethical that a former prosecutor would continue to insult the system he himself worked for, declare it subject and continue the debate, even though he has resigned. Otherwise for any statements MP Demalijaj has said he has been emotional, under the effect and that he is sorry as well as publicly apologised”, the lawyer Koci said.
